Still don't get it. 99% of us here use a quality synthetic so how does it make flexible?A
I was referring more to using a quality synthetic. The filter is pretty much irrelevant.

Hey Chris, I think in your situation you're okay to go two oil changes with the Ultra. It has extra holding capacity so no worries for two 4k oci's.I had been using a Fram Ultra oil filter with synthetic 5W30 every other oil change (4K mile OCI's) but by the time I hit 4K miles my oil is dark from soot (Hyundai 2.4L DI engine) so wondering if changing the oil filter every oil change is better if you have soot from a DI engine ?
Or three for that matter.Hey Chris, I think in your situation you're okay to go two oil changes with the Ultra. It has extra holding capacity so no worries for two 4k oci's.
Under warranty? Oil and filter need to be changed together.

I don't know if he'll reply but if the vehicle was still under warranty I imagine he probably wouldn't be asking this question. He would most likely follow the maintenance schedule. It's a '17 Sonata so...Under warranty? Oil and filter need to be changed together. See your maintenance booklet.
Change it every time always. Holding capacity of the filter is meaningless if one doesn't know the amount of crud the engine produces.
Soot particles are much smaller than particle sizes most oil filters are capable of removing, so changing the filter just for that is not going to help.I had been using a Fram Ultra oil filter with synthetic 5W30 every other oil change (4K mile OCI's) but by the time I hit 4K miles my oil is dark from soot (Hyundai 2.4L DI engine) so wondering if changing the oil filter every oil change is better if you have soot from a DI engine ?
I like to do the opposite and change oil between filter Changes.I know some of you guys maintain pretty short OCI's so for them it might not really be applicable.
However i maintain around 13k miles/20.000km oci's and i am thinking about changing the fitler during oil change and in between the oil changes. I drive that in about 5 months.
I had it 2 times that a mahle filter ruptered a little so i was not so fond about finding that out and not knowing how long it had been sitting like this. I also had some pretty dirty filters because of soot that came lose in the engine.
Modern car engine oil filters are also not that large to save cost/room/engine compactness etc..
I am a wind turbine mechanic and there the filters are changed yearly, the oil however is almost never changed or per 10 years orso like hydraulic/gear oil etc... that is offcourse not compareble to motoroil.
At a couple euros a filter this cant really harm, the bmw filter is also an insert filter and at located at the top of the engine so its like 30 seconds of work.
I am wondering if more of you guys are doing this or if youre OCI's are shorter so its not really neccesary.
Do some of you also have experience with this on heavy machinery like truck/plane ships etc..?
I have had a FILTECH tear two pleats wide open where they were glued at the endcap. Only noticed this when I did a C&P which I posted here. This is a 15$ Honda High performance filter.No reason to change it in the middle of an oil change as long as you use a premium filter. I use whatever is on sale or Supertech filters but I only go 7K max on either of my vehicles.
Has there been a paper on why GDI are causing fuel dilution? Given that the fuel is injected near the top of the compression stroke - and maybe in two shots for a stratified charge. I don't understand the mechanism for sump dilution over a PI fueler.Soot particles are much smaller than particle sizes most oil filters are capable of removing, so changing the filter just for that is not going to help.
Thanks for the c&PThis is the amount of soot like material the filter contains after around 13k miles.
Its not great not terrible.
Dont mind the reddish piece. Its from a gasket that i replaced.
I remember a couple of 80's Civics that I had. The manual stated to change the filter every other oil change and that the oil change interval was 10000 km, so 20000 km filter changes. I have to say even on a university student budget I changed the filter every oil change.Under warranty? Oil and filter need to be changed together. See your maintenance booklet.
